You wouldn’t, the need to do this is normally a code smell and a warning sign that you have done something wrong, or are trying to work against react and the way blocks are intended to work in some way. However if you wanted to continue down the path in the wrong direction, you would … Read more
Since Gutenberg is currently in development mode, Things will break and there won’t be standard set of rules and guidelines NOT until it merges into Core. I have faced the same problem, Changing a thing here and there breaks the current block and it’s frustrating as hell. Until then devs like us have to put … Read more
There does seem to be a filter to modify the default: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/lib/client-assets.php#L1574 ‘bodyPlaceholder’ => apply_filters( ‘write_your_story’, __( ‘Write your story’, ‘gutenberg’ ), $post ), So you should be able to use the WordPress add_filter() function.
The js-file is not executed on time By the time the DOM load event is executed the block editor has already parsed the post content and at that time the block wasn’t yet registered so it tells you that it doesn’t exist. Instead of: window.addEventListener( ‘load’, () => { mcm_register_menu_card_section_block(); }); try: wp.domReady(mcm_register_menu_card_section_block); and in … Read more
Use ‘Groups’: If you do not see the ‘Group’ option, like me, you’ll have to update WP. After that, simply create a group, then add new blocks or drag existing blocks into it. Select the group and add HTML Anchors and classes via the ‘Advanced’ tab of the block’s menu.
The important thing to note is that post is a kind/sub-type of the post types entity, all posts regardless of type share the same table and general data structure and fields etc. This contrasts with other major entity types such as comments or users. However, what if there is no kind or sub-type? What if … Read more
WordPress is using React only on it’s backend editor not on frontend. Gutenberg work as follows: You create a block and interacts with it. (edit function) While saving gutenberg put your attributes in save function which in end returns just html WordPress uses comments to identify blocks and storing data related to it. You can … Read more
My main problem is: how can I pass to my <ServerSideRender /> block the children of my block? Well actually, you might not need to use ServerSideRender.. If you just wanted to see a preview of the block output coming from the save() function, then you could simply use getSaveElement() to get that output, or … Read more
Just in case anyone else comes looking here’s what I did. First I enqueued a javascript file into the block editor. add_action( ‘enqueue_block_editor_assets’, function () { wp_enqueue_style( ‘block-editor-styles’, get_template_directory_uri(‘styles/gutenberg.css’), false, ‘1.0’, ‘all’ ); wp_enqueue_script( ‘block-editor-scripts’, get_template_directory_uri(‘scripts/gutenberg.js’), array( ‘wp-blocks’, ‘wp-dom’ ), time(), true ); }); Then I just used this bit of code for adding a … Read more
WordPress provides a way to get an array of blocks for a page with the parse_blocks() function. If you extract from that the specific block(s) you are interested in, you can then use render_block() to put the block on another page. This function would do that: function example_extract_block_type_from_page( $post_id, $block_name ) { //get post_content for … Read more
